Dear David.
As an "old horse" in embedded computers, I can offer a "PRO" alternative:

This point to the plastic Mars Staedtler Eraser.
You can clean the gold contact of your camera. But one *little* swing is
enough. You should see the difference after the application.
This eraser does not remove the gold but the dirt on it.
You can train on a SD card for instance if you are not sure about this tip.
G'day!
